A YouTuber made an interesting discovery while using Google Maps in the Antarctic region: a gigantic “ice ship” washed up on the coast.
In the video, posted in 2021, content creator MrMBB333 claimed to have found the 130-meter-long “ice ship” on the surface of Antarctica.
According to the video, the ship was found 160 km off the coast of Antarctica and would be just below New Zealand. According to him, the ship was discovered on August 7, 2020.

“This [ship] here measures […] 130 meters to be exact. Whatever it is, it looks like a ship. An ice ship, however you want to call it, that’s what it looks like: a 130-meter yacht standing there on the coast of Antarctica,” said MrMBB333 in the video.
Although the object does indeed look like some kind of vessel, there is no proof that it is what it appears to be. The “ship” could easily be a large chunk of ice that just happens to look like a ship. Since then, some internet users have revisited the coordinates and poured cold water on the theories.
“The ice around the islands melts in the summer, so if it was a boat… it’s gone now. But zooming in, it shows it’s nothing more than a chunk of ice,” explained one commenter.
